What a special week! I've been dying to post photos for days, but we have been flooded with visits from family and friends and it has been hard to find a few free moments.

Our son, Ryan Thomas was on April 16th. It was a long, hard labor. I was in labor for 49.5 hours. I was in Active labor for 33.5 hours. We had a lot of bumps in the road. I was exhausted, his heart rate kept dropping, and my blood pressure was all over the place. It ended at 11:25pm with a c-section. He was wedged against my pelvis. I wasn't excited by the idea of having a c-section, but was so glad that we could put an end to the process. We spent 3 days in the hospital.

We are all doing great! I've attached a few photos of him. He arrived just in time to celebrate our 5 year anniversary with us. I wanted to do something special, so I took this photo of his little feet with our wedding rings. I love that they make a heart shape.

Thank you all for the wonderful support over the last few months. Ryan is looking forward to meeting you all.

I promised on Monday to have a cat card for all my feline loving friends. We could all use a few more friends like this. This cat is going to go an extra mile to stop those "little birdies" from sharing any unwanted news.

Can you tell I'm ready for some colorful blossoms? Here is my second flower card for this week. I wanted to try something a little different. I went for an unblended look on the petals. I was inspired by some artists on pintrest. They were coloring flowers this way, but they were using colored pencils. I wondered if I could get a similar look using copics.

Today is the first in a series of prewritten posts on the blog. I decided to make a some cards to share with you while I'm busy taking care of the baby. Hopefully you will enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them. I'll try to update these posts as my due date approaches.

This is one of my favorites in the April cards. The flower has such a softness to it.

About Me

I love to rubber stamp. I started scrapbooking and rubber stamping in
5th grade. I didn’t realize that the craft would become so popular in
the next ten years. My family had just visited Disney world. I was
filled with joy at the sight of Micky Mouse and Cinderella’s castle. I
remember pouring through the pictures from our family vacation. Without
permission, I started cutting up photos, arranging them on paper, and
glueing souvenirs I had collected to construction paper. Here I am
today, Sharing the Things I Make with the People I LOVE. I hope you find
inspiration in my craft room. I want to be a resource to you and help
you navigate your own projects
